That RPM-Build issue

[Waggoneer]

I guess this is a known issue. But doing a yum clean all and yum --skip-broken didn't get me around the issue.

Hi,

# yum remove rpm-build
# yum update
# yum install rpm-build

[Waggoneer]

Thanks for the reply. I was able to remove rpm-build, I then able to update several packages. I was unable to reinstall rpm-build.

did you try using this command package-cleanup --problems

im sure you have done it wrongyum package-cleanup --problems try that

[Waggoneer]

That command gives no output. I was able to install xorg-x11-drv-keyboard but the other missing dependencies won't install.

I uninstalled the fonts causing the conflict.
I also completely uninstalled openoffice and plymouth-system-plugin so that I could get the new versions.
The problem is solved for me now. I don't know why the newer versions wouldn't install.
I imagine this was some repository issue.

[Demz]

it may have been

[MetaCarpal]

I'm betting you had an interrupted update at some point and the some of the old packages didn't get cleaned up. The current version of fontpackages-filesystem for rawhide is 1.20-2.fc11, but your initial error message is showing that you had an older version, even though you were doing updates.

That happened to me a couple times when I was doing updates using gnome-terminal and the terminal flopped mid-update. I'd suggest running:

rpm -qa | grep -v '<ARCH>' | sed 's/-[0-9].*//' | sort | uniq -c | egrep -v '\s*1 '

where <ARCH> is the opposite of your system; 'x86_64' if you're on a 32-bit system, or 'i[356]86' if you're on a 64-bit system.

If anything comes up, you probably have old packages lingering on the around that need to be removed explicitly by version number. Do another "rpm -q" on each package that comes up to find out.

EDIT: Aha - I thought so. This line in your first post is a dead giveaway:
There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
